SYMPOSIUM OVERVIEW Biologically Based, Quantitative Risk Assessment of Neurotoxicants
The need for biologically based, quantitative risk assessment procedures for noncancer endpoints such as neurotoxicity has been discussed in reports by the United States Congress (Office of Technology Assessment, OTA), National Research Council (NRC), and a federal coordinating council. According to OTA, current attention and resources allocated to health risk assessment research are inadequate...

متن کاملQuantitative Risk Assessment of Condensate Storage Tank, Considering Domino Effects
Introduction: In process industries, some of the primary events may result in secondary events in an industrial unit called the domino effect. Since refinery storage tanks are always at risk of fire and explosion, quantitative risk assessment is important in determining the severity and outcome of an accident, taking into account the effects of dominoes on the main industry, neighbors, and soci...
متن کاملEthics assessment as an adjunct to risk assessment in the evaluation of developmental neurotoxicants.
The conduct of experimental studies in humans is governed by a body of principles whose main precepts have evolved over the past few decades. Three of these provide the foundations for judging the ethical adequacy of such an experiment. One addresses the question of who receives the benefits of the research and who bears its burdens (justice). A second requires that the research maximize the po...
متن کاملQuantitative Terrorism Risk Assessment
Traditionally, the pricing of terrorism risk has been discovered from the balance of supply and demand in the insurance market, rather than evaluated from actuarial principles. Risk selection through the use of site security surveys has helped reduce the number of inferior risks, and systematic portfolio risk aggregation has limited the Probable Maximum Loss from any attack scenario. With such ...
